Sadness Sunday: Bruce Burbidge

This morning the family had the sad news of the passing of our cousin. My dad's first cousin, Bruce William Burbidge, passed away.

I didn't know Bruce well- I remember meeting him at my aunt's home several years ago. I'm sure I'd met him before then, too, but likely when there were a lot of people (i.e. kids) around and I didn't care about the adults. Anyway, Bruce was in the US Army and I know lived in Germany for a long while. I'm not even sure where he lived at his death- South Dakota possibly? I will learn this, though.

I know it's the cycle of life, but Bruce was just this baby to me last August when I scanned pictures at Grampa's.

Bruce was a dear friend and a wonderful person. He lived his life to help other people. He was full of life and fun and brought joy to many. He was a Soldier and loved helping Soldiers. He will be missed. I will never forget him. God Speed Old Friend.Bill Ray
